Media Center Internet TV and Nat geo TV won't work.

I have Vista Ultimate 64x bit. And i recently just found out why my files weren't play in it. ( because i didn't have 64x bit codecs). That fixed that problem. I was hoping it would fix the problem i was having with the internet TV beta program, but it didn't. When ever I play files, i get a black screen and nothing plays. I then goto the now playing option, and it says unable to play clip. The MSNBC TV thing works, but not the Internet TV program. I am not sure what the problem is. But i do have codecs installed.

-Thank you, all help is apprecaited!

The error message sometimes says, "The video requested is not available."

Hi, chris. It turns out that it is still in the Beta stage and that is why it's not functioning properly. IF you goto services.msc and enable all the windows media center functions, you may get some things to work, I did. But there is suppose to be a final release in a month or so alsong with SP2.. so just wait until then.
